Jimmy Fallon has shared an epic throwback of Emma Watson detailing an
awkward interview that was never publicized.
The hilarious video
was shared on The Tonight Show's social media accounts, and it features Emma
revealing one of her most embarrassing television moments.
It in fact happened the first time Emma was on Jimmy's show, moments
after they met for the first time.
"The trauma, the post
traumatic stress of my last performance on the Jimmy Fallon show," the
actress starts off by saying, just as the two are sent into a laughing
fit.
"We'd never met before, and you couldn't be nicer and sweeter,
and gosh I'm a fan of yours," Jimmy tells Emma. They go on to explain that
the moment the cameras started rolling, right before the host was going to
start interviewing the Harry Potter star, she interrupted him to say: "I
love that Halloween candy thing you do."
Emma recalled the
silence and confusion she received upon saying that, and as they recount how
they both tried to figure out just what segment she was referring to, they
bend over laughing, admitting to their audience that she had accidentally
mistaken Jimmy for Jimmy Kimmel.
"It was the first time we met!" the television host said, to
which the movie star replied: "I died inside." Jimmy was kind enough to
admit that the confusion happens all the time, and when it happened to Emma,
he offered to re-tape her entrance and restart the interview, and so the
moment was never aired.
Upon sharing the hilarious throwback of the two reminiscing
over their first interview, fans were quick to confess in the comments that
they could definitely relate. "I'm glad to know I'm not the only one," wrote
a follower, while another said, "She's the best and the sweetest," of
Emma.
Ironically, the actress was recently the victim of a
similar confusion with another celeb of the same name. During HBO Max's
Harry Potter reunion special, a photo was shown of a little girl in Mickey
Mouse ears, meant to be a throwback of Emma. However it was accidentally a
photo of Emma Roberts, not Watson.
The Beauty and the Beast star laughed off the confusion,
posting the
photo to her Instagram with the caption: "I was NOT this cute," tagging the
correct Emma.
